Tony Two-Cent's 2016 Year-In-Review

[Tony Two-Cent]

The year 2016 was kind of an "off" year for me, metal detecting-wise. I didn't get out much and this really shows in my silver totals. However, sometimes quality is better than quantity and I was able to make some decent finds in my infrequent outings. I even found a bucket list item, my first "fatty" Indian Head Cent.

It was really strange that I found 1 Seated Quarter, 2 Barber Quarters and 3 SLQs but only one silver Washington quarter. Not that I'm complaining!

Here are some of my more interesting coin finds:



And here are some of the relics and jewelry items:



I am looking forward to 2017. I should be able to get out more this year. The tough part is finding sites to hunt. Since I moved here in October of 2015 I am slowly becoming more familiar with the area and its history. My brother has several promising sites lined up for the spring, and I hope to take a road trip or two as well.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:

For an "off" year...not to shabby. A seated quarter, which is still on my wish list, Barber's and 3 SLQ's...:thumbsup02:

If one of your road trips will be out this way I hope we can meet up.

Looks like you did A-Okay Tony! You always make such good finds and usually where others have previously trod with their detectors. I learned a lot from you over the last few years. Have a great 2017 and I hope we can get together at least once for a hunt. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

That's definitely a nice bunch of quality coins. Not even one Rosie!!
I hope a couple of the road trips point you up north a bit.
Best of luck in 2017. Spring will be here before we know it.

For the time you got out I'd say you had a pretty good year. Hope you get out as much as you want in 2017. Great finds Tony. WD

The quality of your finds are amazing! No junk silver there! I hope you get out more...I miss your videos!

Still an amazing year Tony, and congrats again on your first Fatty!

I would take an "off year" like that any time Tony , great finds sir !! :clapping:

I was hoping to see you to this march when the "Midwest invasion detecting team" comes out to hunt some colonial sites with us !

Not too shabby if you ask me brother! :thumbsup01:
For the limited time you did have in the field it looks like you made the most of it! :yes:
You even managed to snag a item off of my bucket list :envious: (Seated quarter)
I feel your pain in not getting out to detect as much as we may have liked this past year.
Congrats on the keepers Tony!
A heres to a more fruitful 2017 :beerbuddy:

Congratulations on some super finds! Your brother never wanted to try swinging himself? I know he has found some nice sites in the past. Good luck in your new territory!
